It's a Lizard City Builder! It's a (Stinky) Human Avoiding Stealth Game!

It's LIZARDS!

As we lizards know well, the best place to live is beneath a human city, where they least expect it.
Well, except for the drilling...
And the tunnels...
And the endless electricity bills!

In LIZARDS, you will be building a small lizard city under a human city, while avoiding the humans and their probing drills and tunnel bores. Grow your population and suit up (in human skin) to infiltrate the humans' city council and put an end to the drilling for good!

The entire game is played using the mouse. The scroll wheel allows you to view the deeper parts of the map.
On the left are buttons allowing you to
- Dig (gather resources and make space to build)
- Fill (even abandoned corridors cause suspicion, so make sure to remove unused areas)
- Build
- Trade
- Cancel tasks

On the right are the assignment buttons. Make sure to assign your lizards to the roles you want filled.

Buildings
- Mushroom Farm: Worked by 1 farmer lizard and produces mushrooms for your lizards to eat
- Hatchery: Worked by 2 breeder lizards to produce more lizards
- Storage: Holds 12 items
- Trap: Can only be placed on the surface. Worked by 1 trapper lizard to capture humans and make human skins
- TV Room: Lizards will go here when they require entertainment. Watch out for your TV bill and make sure you have the money to pay it
- Tailor: Worked by 1 tailor lizard to produce a human suit and infiltrate the surface. Lizards who complete this task leave the colony. Once 3 lizards have done so, you win the game!
- Dinosaur Bones: You can replant dinosaur bones to stop humans digging through a certain area. You have a limited supply, so use them well

Shop:
- You can buy human food here. It is an alternative to mushrooms, but it also provides some level of entertainment instead of the TV

Be careful, your lizards will die if they don't get enough food. If they get too bored they will run up into the city above and make their own fun. Even the humans will notice that...

Good luck!
